im away at the moment for all of september meeting with manufacturers
i have 3 prototypes which were bare metal cases 2 normal size 3.5" drivesand 1 emax larger type drive which will fit also the eps16+ eps classic epsm and the EIII and Emax1/2 this is the shugart 3.5" type
i have to do product control and making sure the finished bracket is to spec
i then have to purchase more pcbs and have the components reflowed in a pick and place conveyer oven
i have a cash of nos slim floppy drives and i remade the slim floppy adapter so that normal mfc flat cable can be used as at the moment they use a special one where pin one is pin one to match the slim floppy drive connection as if you use a normal mfc cable which has connection on the same side when you flip it to fit the slim floppy they are reversed
no doubt as soon as these are released there will be knock off Chinese versions in no time so i will be only doing as limited run so that i know that i wont be left with lots of spare drives ads its all set up and tooling has already been payed for its easier just to order batches
this is what the aztec monster guy does

No- Jammie is waiting to get metalwork from manufacturing and powdercoated.At least that is my understanding. Last also Jammie commented I think it is 1 to 2 months out before they may be available.(not speaking for him, this is just my understanding from what he has posted).Regards,

Thanks for all your help and wisdom Ted :)So as Im still concidering different options to make use of the SCSI in my machine, this thing Jamie is working on could perhaps be a solution.Have anyone heard of any preorders to be sent or something?Niklas2014-09-05 18:44 GMT+02:00 Ted Summers djtbs1@... [emax] <emax@yahoogroups.com>:Regards,It's a project he is working on. It is not complete yet.
